The End

• Types of Files Teacher Information – This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. • Animation – Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. • Adding slides to this presentation – Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.

Teacher Information • Hyperlink Slides - This presentation contain two types of hyperlinks. Hyperlinks can be identified by the text being underlined and a different color (usually purple). – Unit subsections hyperlinks: Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (slide #3) can be found listing all of the unit’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection. – Bold print term hyperlinks: Every bold print term from the unit is included in this presentation as a hyperlink. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of the hyperlinks will take the user to a slide containing the formal definition of the term. Clicking on the “arrow” in the bottom left corner of the definition slide will take the user back to the original point in the presentation. These hyperlinks were included for teachers who want students to see or copy down the exact definition as stated in the text. Most teachers prefer the definitions not be included to prevent students from only “copying down what is on the screen” and not actively listening to the presentation. For teachers who continually use the Bold Print Term Hyperlinks option, please contact the author using the email address on the next slide to learn a technique to expedite the returning to the original point in the presentation.

Teacher Information • Continuity slides – Throughout this presentation there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. • By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. • By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. • To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides. • Please feel free to contact me at kkorek@germantown. k 12. wi. us with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. regarding these presentations.

Definition Slides

Developmental Psychology = a branch of psychology that studies physical, cognitive, and social change throughout the life span.

Zygote = the fertilized egg, it enters a 2 -week period of rapid cell division and develops into an embryo.

Embryo = the developing human organism from about 2 weeks after fertilization through the second month.

Fetus = the developing human organism from 9 weeks after conception to birth.

Teratogens = agents, such as chemicals and viruses, that can reach the embryo or fetus during prenatal development and cause harm.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) = physical and cognitive abnormalities in children caused by a pregnant woman’s heavy drinking. In severe cases, symptoms include noticeable facial misproportions.

Habituation = decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation. As infants gain familiarity with repeated exposure to a visual stimulus, their interest wanes and they look away sooner.

Maturation = biological growth processes that enable orderly changes in behavior, relatively uninfluenced by experience.

Cognition = all mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating.

Schema = a concept or framework that organizes and interprets information.

Assimilation = interpreting our new experiences in terms of our existing schemas.

Accommodation = adapting our current understandings (schemas) to incorporate new information.

Sensorimotor Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage (from birth to about 2 years of age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activities.

Object Permanence = the awareness that things continue to exist when not perceived.

Preoperational Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage (from 2 to about 6 or 7 years of age) during which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic. .

Conservation = the principle (which Piaget believed to be a part of concrete operational reasoning) that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the forms of objects.

Egocentrism = in Piaget’s theory, the preoperational child’s difficulty taking another’s point of view.

Theory of Mind = people’s ideas about their own and other’s mental states – about their feelings, perceptions, and thoughts, and the behaviors these might predict.

Concrete Operational Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage of cognitive development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which children gain the mental operations that enable them to think logically about concrete events.

Formal Operational Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage of cognitive development (normally beginning about age 12) during which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts.

Autism = a disorder that appears in childhood and is marked by deficient communication, social interaction, and understanding of other’s states of mind.

Stranger Anxiety = the fear of strangers that infants commonly display, beginning by about 8 months of age.

Attachment = an emotional tie with another person; shown in young children by their seeking closeness to the caregiver and showing distress on separation.

Critical Period = an optimal period shortly after birth when an organism’s exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development.

Imprinting = the process by which certain animals form attachments during a critical period very early in life.

Temperament = a person’s characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity.

Basic Trust = according to Erikson, a sense that the world is predictable and trustworthy; said to be formed during infancy by appropriate experiences with responsive caregivers.

Self-concept = our understanding and evaluation of who we are.

Gender = in psychology, the biologically and socially influenced characteristics by which people define male and female.

Aggression = physical or verbal behavior intended to hurt someone.

X Chromosome = the sex chromosome found in both men and women. Females have two X chromosomes; males have one. An X chromosome from each parent produces a female child.

Y Chromosome =the sex chromosome found only in males. When paired with an X chromosome from the mother, it produces a male child.

Testosterone = the most important of the male sex hormones. Both males and females have it, but the additional testosterone in males stimulates the growth of the male sex organs in the fetus and the development of the male sex characteristics during puberty.

Role = a set of expectations (norms) about a social position, defining how those in the position ought to behave.

Gender Role = a set of unexpected behaviors for males or females.

Gender Identity = our sense of being male or female.

Gender Typing = the acquisition of a traditional masculine or feminine role.

Social Learning Theory = theory that we learn social behavior by observing and imitating and by being rewarded or punished.

Adolescence = the transition period from childhood to adulthood, extending from puberty to independence.

Puberty = the period of sexual maturation, during which a person becomes capable of reproducing.

Primary Sexual Characteristics = the body structures (ovaries, testes, and external genitalia) that makes sexual reproduction possible.

Secondary Sex Characteristics = nonreproductive sexual characteristics, such as female breasts and hips, male voice quality, and body hair.

Menarche = the first menstrual period.

Identity = our sense of self; according to Erikson, the adolescent’s task is to solidify a sense of self by testing and integrating various roles.

Social Identify = the “we” aspect of our self-concept; the part of our answer to “Who am I? ” that comes from our group memberships.

Intimacy = in Erikson’s theory, the ability to form close, loving relationships; a primary developmental task in late adolescence and early adulthood.

Emerging Adulthood = for some people in modern cultures, a period from the late teens to mid-twenties, bridging the gap between adolescent dependence and full independence and responsible adulthood.

Menopause = the time of natural cessation of menstruation; also refers to the biological changes a woman experiences as her ability to reproduce declines.

Cross-sectional Study = a study in which people of different ages are compared with one another.

Longitudinal Study = research in which the same people are restudied and retested over a long period.

Crystallized Intelligence = our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills; tends to increase with age.

Fluid Intelligence = our ability to reason speedily and abstractly; tends to decrease during late adulthood.

Social Clock = the culturally preferred timing of social events such as marriage, parenthood, and retirement.
